Subject: [Soac-infoalert] Joint Note to Community Leaders about Recent Public 
Comment Improvements

Dear Community Leaders:
At ICANN55 in Marrakech, we received feedback during a public forum session 
about the public comment process at ICANN. Specifically, the speakers expressed 
concerns about the multitude of public comment requests and other ICANN calls 
to action. Requesting opinions from the community is an essential part of the 
multistakeholder process, and we recognize the importance of ensuring that this 
is an easy-to-use and streamlined process.

As a result, our teams discussed this issue and subsequently created a single 
page that lists all opportunities for the community to provide feedback on open 
calls-to-action including activities that fall outside of typical public 
comment proceedings. This page is now live. It is also accessible from the main 
banner at the top of the public comment page. We encourage you to share this 
added functionality with your communities.
The Global Domains Division will maintain this new page, and the Policy 
Development Support Team will continue to manage the public comment process 
including the opening and closing of proceedings, posting of summary reports, 
and updating the 'upcoming public comment proceedings' page. Public comment is 
an integral part of the policy development process and an important component 
in organizational and governance matters at ICANN as well as implementation and 
operational aspects of our work.
We hope that consolidating all calls for community input proves useful. We are 
also exploring ways to further improve the user experience for everyone 
participating in the public comment process and will keep you informed of our 
progress. If you have questions or comments, please contact 
public-comment@xxxxxxxxx<mailto:public-comment@xxxxxxxxx>. We look forward to 
your feedback.
Best regards,
Akram Atallah and David Olive
